Art and Design

Introduction

Art, craft and design stimulates creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences, and a unique way of understanding and responding to the world. Through working with artists and visiting galleries we provide our pupils with rich artistic experiences and a wealth of inspiration.

Art enables children to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form and pattern. Our spectacular annual Art Exhibition provides an opportunity for children to present their work and demonstrate their enthusiasm, confidence and determination for art, craft and design. Seeing their work alongside the work of others provides an opportunity to improve critical and comparative skills.

Children's Work

We believe that every child has the ability to draw and here at King’s Hedges we are particularly proud of the progression our children achieve in their drawing skills. Click here to view some examples of children’s work from Reception through to Year 6.
